I must have missed this the first time this came around. Have you ever seen Joe Satriani play guitar live? His guitar doesn't seem like an instrument, it is more like an extension of his body - this weird appendage he was born with - a terrible deformity made awesome and beautiful through virtuosity. It is marvelous to witness. Yeah, that.
Let me take a moment to express my deep affection for everyone in the monome community. I haven't found a more supportive group of people linked with a common interest anywhere else on the net. Stylistically, I think we cover a lot of territory, which is a testament to the design of the monome.
This highlights one of the bittersweet aspects of communities that are linked through interest, not proximity. I wish I could teleport all the monome community into one room for a night for some informal face-to-face, food, wine.

face-to-face, food, wine...
that sounds like much fun.
i love the monome community.
I just jumped into this community and it is fascinating. Well actually I did it without a monome because I frankly wasn't able to order one fast enough. I had to first rewrite a patch for the Lemur in MAX that turns the Lemur into a Monome by way of a Lemurized Monomeserial called MonemurV2 which is up on the JazzMutant site. Now that's done. I have my monome on the Lemur. I have been meaning to contact you via email since I used Blinken Park as my startup sequence and credited you in the Readme for that. I hope that is ok. If not, please let me know what to do. I love you patches, especially Press Cafe with interference patterns on my analog synth.
Cheers,
Chris

Chris -
The patches are meant to be shared. I'm honored that anyone actually uses anything I make. They're yours to use and adapt.
Best wishes and I hope you have tons of fun with your lemur. What you're doing sounds cool.
